What is the Keeling Curve?
 * The Keeling Curve is a graph that was first made in 1958 by Charles Keeling, that shows the Variation in Concentration of Carbon Dioxide in the atmosphere. The graph has been made every year since ,** **and shows an increase from 315 ppmv in 1958, to 385 ppmv in 2008.**




 * The reason you should care is because too much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is a bad thing. Too much carbon dioxide can cause irreversible damage to the ozone layer, and even cause “rips”. Not only are “rips” caused in the ozone layer, an excess amount of carbon dioxide can actually throw off the green house affect, and over heat the earth.**

What causes Carbon emissions?
 * Carbon emissions are caused by fossil fuel emissions, non-energy use of fuels, Iron and Steel Production, and many other things. (See Graph Below)**



What can I do to stop my Carbon emissions?
 * You can reduce your carbon emissions by driving hybrid cars, car pooling to work, and telling big business to make an effort in cleaning up their emissions.**
